Sri Lanka, May 22 -- A man accused of defrauding more than Rs. 10 million by posing as a representative of a non-governmental organization (NGO) and promising employment opportunities in Canada has been arrested by special investigation officers of the Sri Lanka Bureau of Foreign Employment (SLBFE).

The suspect, a 28-year-old resident of the Kuchchaveli area, was allegedly targeting young men and women in the Eastern Province by offering jobs at supermarkets in Canada.

The Bureau said that it had received seven complaints against the suspect, with victims claiming they had been cheated out of more than Rs. 4 million. However, investigators believe the total amount involved may exceed Rs. 10 million as more complaints continue to emerge....
